1. يا أَيُّها الرَشَأُ الَّذي

    في خَدِّهِ آسٌ وَوَردُ

    O you gazelle fawn whose

    cheek bears myrtle and roses,

  2. قُم نَبتَكِر بِكراً لَها

    عِقدٌ لَهُ حَلٌّ وَقَعدُ

    rise; let us drink early a virgin wine that has

    a necklace that is loosened and comes to rest.

  3. فَالطَلُّ كافورٌ عَلى

    مِسكِ الثَرى وَالغَيمُ نَدُّ

    For the dew is camphor upon

    the earth’s musk, and the clouds are incense.
